During heat spells, making simple changes in your daily activities and staying cool can help you remain safe and healthy.

Here are a few ways to Beat the Heat:

Drink cool, non-alcoholic beverages often. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink.

Stay indoors and, if possible, spend time in air-conditioned locations such as shopping malls, public libraries, or public health sponsored cooling shelters. For a list of cooling centers, please visit the Public Health website at https://www.lacounty.gov/heat/, or call the LA County Information line at 2-1-1 from any landline or cell phone within the county.

Avoid unnecessary exertion.

If you experience dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps and increased thirst you need to relax in a cooler, shaded place and drink water or a sports drink.
